We need to beat the D-Backs but I hope they have a good season the rest of the way with Kirk Gibson as there manager and Alan Trammel as the bench coach. Those guys are all time great Tigers.

Tigers back tied for 1st. We need a win today to get a nice series win over a 1st place team from the National league.

Awesome day today for a Tigers fan to see a ton of all-time greats at the ballpark to honor the late great Sparky Anderson. It was fitting that the D-Backs are the team we are playing since Alan Tramell and Kirk Gibson are both on the management team and can be here to honor a great man.

An otherwise standard 8-3 victory by the New York Yankees over the Colorado Rockies did feature one unusual moment on Saturday afternoon. It's what you see pictured above and in the video below. Two different images of the same Troy Tulowitzki(notes) swing, showing two different points of contact on the baseball. A double-hitzki, if you will, for a basehit to left field. Tulo was jammed a bit on the fourth inning offering from CC Sabathia(notes). Amazingly, or maybe more so luckily, he was able to almost catch that ball with his bat, holding it in place to make contact again with the end up of the bat. The result was a knuckling line drive just over the head of Alex Rodriguez(notes). Both broadcast teams described the contact as a broken bat single based on the double-crack sound, but a closer inspection on the video you see below shows it hit the bat twice. Take a closer look for yourself. And listen for the sound. [flash][/flash]
